Do This: Latke Battle and Brunch at Spertus Institute

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Dec 8, 2008 4:50PM

One man's potato pancake is another man's latke. Since it is Hanukkah season, love us some latkes (for a goyim), and know we aren't alone, this Sunday latke cookoff and brunch at the Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies is right up our alley. Spertus is currently accepting latke recipes (e-mail yours here, if you're interested) with an explanation why yours is the best. Spertus is selecting their favorites for a head-to-head cookoff with Laura Frankel, Executive Chef of the Institute's Wolfgang Puck café, and judged by Ina Pinkney and comedian Aaron Freeman.

the cookoff begins at 12:30 p.m. Before then, attendees can dine on brunch starting at 11 a.m. The $42 price will include a buffet-style brunch, latkes and copies of the recipes. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 312-322-1757.
